The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Au Moyen-Age, le village abritait la secte dite des Giovannali, qui prônait une totale égalité entre ses membres, déclarée hérétique par le pape. Près de l'église Saint-Jean se trouvent les ruines de l'ancienne église San-Quilico. Selon la tradition, Saint-Jean était destinée aux nobles, et San-Quilico aux membres des Giovannali. La façade principale est tournée vers l'ouest. La nef se termine par une abside qui, seule, est voûtée. A quelques pas se trouvent les ruines du clocher carré, qui s'élevait sur trois niveaux, et a été abattu par la foudre. Il devait servir aux deux églises.

History
In the Middle Ages, the village harboured the sect known as the Giovannali, which advocated total equality among its members, declared heretical by the Pope. Near the church of Saint-Jean are found the ruins of the former church of San-Quilico. According to tradition, Saint-Jean was intended for nobles, and San-Quilico for members of the Giovannali. The main facade faces west. The nave ends in an apse which, alone, is vaulted. A few steps away are found the ruins of the square bell tower, which rose three storeys and was struck by lightning. It must have served both churches.
